Statement Regarding Board of Trustees’ Decision to Cut Faculty

We at The Guardsman are heartbroken to watch as so many of our faculty community are excised from our college’s emaciated body. To the 163 faculty members who risk losing what they’ve built for us in their disciplines, we are at a loss for words that express the disappointment that we feel. Are there truly no other avenues besides gutting our course offerings or asking our faculty to voluntarily rob themselves? For their vocal dedication to an inclusive process where the community is clearly concerned, we would like to thank the 118 public commenters, Trustee Alan Wong, and Student Trustee Malinalli Villalobos.

Signed,

The Guardsman Staff
